Frequently Asked Questions
A PTO calculator helps you estimate the amount of paid time off you have accrued based on your accrual rate, hours worked, and any caps.
PTO accrual is typically calculated by multiplying your accrual rate (hours earned per hour worked) by the number of hours you worked in a period, then adding any existing balance.
A common accrual rate is 0.0385 hours per hour worked, which equates to 80 hours (2 weeks) per year based on 2080 work hours.
